Telari led the way to the ruins. As she had indicated, they were not far away, with the pair reaching them at just before dawn. In the dim light, the ruins were clearly palatial in design, likely from a former civilization. Telari led the way into the largest building, crumbling with age. Inside was almost completely collapsed, but a dull glint of gold was visible between cracks in the ground, indicating a treasure chamber below the palace.

Moira followed through the night, she was really glad she chose to sleep in, but as she got to the ruins she was beginning to feel tired once more. With a long deep breath she looked around wondering where to go next, but as Telari made her way into a large ruin Moira whined as she followed, he would not complain, but she still thought this was a bad idea.

Telari found a hidden hatch, opening it to reveal a path to the bottom of the chamber. This time, Telari led the way, the path apparently lit by magic as it was brighter than the other areas of the ruins. As they walked, some sort of magical effect seemed to take hold of both Telari and Moira. As Telari shook slightly while walking, some sort of protection spell seemed aimed to increase the anxiety and fear of anyone going into the ruins.

Moira remained silent, a part of her wanted to just try digging down to the gold through the floor, but she would not protest instead she followed, trailing after Telari as they descended into the ruins, the magic hitting her hard, Moira began to fidget with her fingers and also started to trail a claw against the wall, making sure she did not lose track of it if things got dark.

The closer they got to the chamber, the more intense the magic, hitting its peak as the chamber door opened. Still shaking, Telari took in the view, several thousand pounds of gold inside the chamber, with more treasure likely further back.

The treasure room didn't seem enchanted with any more of the magic, but at the end, something seemed to be moving around the shadows before Telari was suddenly tackled by a large being, the shadows making it hard to make out.

As Telari was suddenly attacked and dragged down by some strange assailant Moira screamed, her instinct was to run, but she could not abandon Telari. Shuddering the badger woman began to rush to her companion's aid, doing her best to figure out what was attacking them.

As the badger rushed in, a snake seemed to worm its way up Moira's body. Interestingly, it didn't squeeze or seem to try to harm her in any way. Rather, it simply seemed to restrain her, wrapping around one breast firmly, but not tightly.

The snake didn't seem prone to being dislodged, but didn't seem to attack her directly. Instead, it wrapped around her breasts, coiling and squeezing them firmly as the front of its body moved down her torso.

As the snake moved down Moira's torso, it seemed to be trying to work its way through her clothes, the large figure on top of Terani now strangling the anthro snake viciously, his back to Moira as he did so.

Growling, the assailant got off of Telari, standing and facing Moira. Even in the shadows, he was clearly massive, at least twice as tall as Moira. Staring the badger down, he seemed uninterested in the snake trying to get Moira stripped down, quite intelligently unfastening clothing.

Moira stared at the large enemy in mild regret and fear as her belt was undone and her trousers fell down to her knees. This made Moira yelp as she tried to pull them up and back away at the same time. She could not win this fight with the snake trying to strip her.

The assailant grabbed Moira by the top, lifting her off the ground with ease. "Do you care for the snake bitch?" he snarled in a deep, raspy voice. "Or is it merely duty that made you attack me to save her?"
